Two jailed for drugs crimes in Huddersfield

Two drug dealers have been jailed for more than ten years after they took advantage of a vulnerable homeowner turning her house into a drugs den.

Brandon Diskin, 21, and 23-year-old Saul Britton, both from the town, were jailed this week after being convicted for possession of Class A drugs with intending to supply.

It’s after the duo took over a house on Sunbury Grove in Dalton and turning it into a drugs den. Police said the pair targeted the house which was owned by a vulnerable woman, and used it to cut and sell drugs.

Diskin and Britton were jailed at Leeds Crown Court on Wednesday for four-and-a-half years, and six years, respectively.
